Johns
Hopkins Update – Very Good Article
After
years of telling people CHEMOTHERAPY is the only way to try (‘TRY’, being the
key word) to eliminate cancer, Johns Hoplins is finally starting to tell you
there is an alternative way.
Cancer
Update from Johns Hopkins:
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These
cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to
a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer
cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to
detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than
10 times in a person’s lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong
the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the
person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, but also to
environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional
deficiencies, changing diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day
and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the
rapidly-growing cancer cells and also
destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells
in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys,
heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells
also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and
radiation will often reduce tumour size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy
and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from
chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or
destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and
complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause
cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread
to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to
starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,
Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute
would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt
has a chemical added to make it white in colour Better alternative is Bragg's
aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus,
especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting
off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being
starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.
A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat,
like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and
parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and
juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an
alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh
vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy
cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh
vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw
vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104
degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which
have high caffeine Green tea is a better alternative e and has cancer fighting
properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known
toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and
requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the
intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic build-up.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein
covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to
attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body’s killer cells to
destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system
(IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to
enable the body’s own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements
like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body’s
normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and
spirit. A proactive and positive spirit
will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and
bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have
a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated
environment. Exercising daily and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down
to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer
cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns
Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is
being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially
breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water
in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto,
Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain
this health hazard. He talked about
dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our
food in the microwave using plastic containers.
This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the
combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and
ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such
as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food.
You
get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners,
instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated
in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper.
It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a
while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers
to paper. The dioxin problem is one of
the reasons.
Please share this with your whole email
list.........................
Also,
he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when
placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave.
As
the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out
of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.
Cover
food with a paper towel instead.
